NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 25, 2026-- BitGo Inc., the digital asset infrastructure company and wholly owned subsidiary of BitGo Holdings, Inc. (“BitGo”) (NYSE: BTGO), today announced support for CIP-56 token standard assets on the Canton Network, including USDCx and cBTC.

The launch expands BitGo’s Canton infrastructure from custody of the network’s native token, Canton Coin, to the broader ecosystem of institutional financial assets built on the CIP-56 token standard.

CIP-56 is Canton’s token standard, comparable to Ethereum’s ERC-20, but designed specifically for regulated financial markets. The standard enables confidential transactions where data is shared only with involved parties, native Delivery-vs-Payment settlement, embedded KYC and AML controls, and deterministic settlement finality within seconds.

With this integration, BitGo clients can custody and manage the two core categories of institutional assets on Canton:

• USDCx: A USDC-backed stablecoin issued via Circle’s xReserve protocol and utilizing Canton’s selective disclosure structure
• cBTC: Wrapped Bitcoin asset enabling BTC liquidity within Canton’s settlement ecosystem

“Canton is rapidly becoming critical infrastructure for institutional digital finance,” said Chen Fang, Chief Revenue Officer at BitGo. “By supporting CIP-56 assets, BitGo provides institutions with the custody layer they need to securely hold and move stablecoins, bitcoin liquidity, and yield-bearing instruments across Canton’s growing financial ecosystem.”

USDCx serves as the settlement currency for many of Canton’s emerging capital markets use cases, including out-of-hours repo settlement and tokenized collateral workflows. cBTC brings bitcoin liquidity into Canton’s programmable settlement layer, allowing institutions to use BTC as collateral or as a settlement asset across applications.

“CIP-56 is the standard that enables interoperability across the Canton ecosystem,” said Melvis Langyintuo, Executive Director & Head of the Canton Foundation. “BitGo’s support for CIP-56 assets strengthens the network’s institutional infrastructure and makes it easier for participants to build applications and financial products on Canton.”

BitGo first launched qualified custody for Canton Coin in October 2025. With today’s announcement, the company has expanded its support to the broader token ecosystem on the network in less than six months.

As institutional adoption of digital assets continues to grow, BitGo plans to continue expanding its Canton infrastructure to support additional tokenized assets, applications, and settlement workflows across the network.
